Laura Millar | Public health professional, sexual health professional & sexologist
Access, consent, and meaningful change.
The question you are unsure how to ask. The workshop your team needs. The policy that looks fine until someone has to use it. We can start there.
I bring public health, sexual health, and sexology together through education, coaching, research, and consulting. My work helps people explore bodies, pleasure, relationships, and consent while helping organizations change the barriers that limit access, autonomy, and participation.

How I approach the work
My work brings public health and sexology together with disability justice, blind positivity, and sex positivity. I pay attention to power, consent, and the conditions that shape people’s choices.
Cultural humility means listening, examining assumptions, and learning from the people involved. Consent culture means making room for questions, boundaries, different choices, and accountability. Disability justice means addressing barriers together and respecting the knowledge and leadership of people most affected.
There is room here for pleasure, curiosity, humor, and belonging, alongside serious work on policies, programs, and everyday practice.

What working together can feel like
“She really makes people feel comfortable to ask questions and that no questions are too simple or embarrassing to ask.”

Public health, disability justice, sexuality, and everyday life, with room for difficult questions and a little humor.
- Love Is Blind: A Blind Sexologist on Attraction, Flirting, and ConsentNetflix’s Love Is Blind asks whether love can survive the reveal. As a blind sexologist, my question starts earlier: how do I know someone is interested if I cannot see them looking at me from across the room? Let’s talk about flirting, sexual ableism, consent, and what “blind” is really doing in that title.
- When Ableism Becomes Policy: The Public Health Cost of Delayed RehabilitationTwo DOR applications, no response, inaccessible government forms, and why disability service delays are a public health emergency. This post has three parts: the problem, my letter to Governor Newsom, and why I wrote it the way I did.
Why a clitoris with a cane?
My logo brings blind positivity and sex positivity together. The clitoris represents pleasure and bodily autonomy. The white cane represents blind identity and access. Together, they reflect my work toward cultures where disabled people’s bodies, choices, and desires are respected.
Teaching with a three-dimensional model of the clitoris showed me how many people, blind and sighted, had never encountered its full anatomy. That experience inspired a logo that makes room for curiosity, accessible education, and a little playfulness.
Logo image description: On a black background, a red clitoris holding a long white cane appears beside sky-blue lettering reading “Laura Millar Consulting.” A straight, vibrant rainbow band sits beneath the words.
